Very simple mod, just lengthen the hole so the hinge will mount lower on the inner fender

Chad thanks so much for the response. When I spoke with Fesler initially they thought 112-135 lb spring but I think the lowest weight they offered was 80lb, but she thought that might not be enough to hold the hood up...


sending you a PM...thanks again!
